Will the french fuel agree with my Volvo?

Planning to take car to France this summer. I know it runs on 5% ethenol fuel that we have here, is similar fuel availale in France or has it a higher ethenol content?

They may be up to 10%. But we've been running a Toyota on 20% ethanol (in Thailand) for years without any trouble.
